Facilitate Sustainable Governance

“Cooperate with enterprises to create a sustainable future” is CDF’s sustainability goal. Over long periods of time, CDF has upheld transparency in business operations and implemented a high standard of corporate governance. It has designed diverse green financial products to promote green finance. It has also provided comprehensive customer services and employee care and continues to pay attention to sustainability topics in order to advance environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals. Since its inception, CDF has concentrated in the principal investment, corporate banking, and capital market businesses. It has invested in and provided financial services to domestic and overseas clients in over 100 industries, and it continues to play a critical role in Taiwan’s venture capital market. Therefore, the most significant difference between CDF and peers lies in the core business of “venture capital”. CDF has dedicated efforts to implement sustainability through investments. It chooses investment targets that are closely related to environmental sustainability and corporate governance, such as investment in green energy and biotechnology projects and actively provides assistance to entrepreneurs in order to implement the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For example, the CDIB Capital Innovation Accelerator fund has built the largest innovation and start-up platform in Nangang and helps start-up companies to develop business models and succeed in business ventures by providing mentors in professional realms, such as business management, finance, and employee management. We hope to use our influence in investee companies to spread the seeds of sustainability, so that they may take root, prosper, and bear fruit.
